by the researchers as suggested by Mason (2002). The questions are as follows.
1.The social reality (Ontological perspective), what is the nature of phenomena or social reality I
want to investigate?
2.Knowledge and evidence (Epistemological perspective), what might represent knowledge and
evidence of social reality I wish to investigate?
3.Broad research area, what topic or substantive area is the research concerned with?
